[android] Start new Activity and finish current one in Android?

Currently I'm starting a new Activity and calling finish on a current one.

Is there any flag that can be passed to Intent that enables finishing current Activity without a need to call finish manually from code?

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY when starting the activity you wish to finish after the user goes to another one.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#FLAG%5FACTIVITY%5FNO%5FHISTORY

Use finish like this:

Intent i = new Intent(Main_Menu.this, NextActivity.class);
finish();  //Kill the activity from which you will go to next activity 
startActivity(i);

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY you can use in case for the activity you want to finish. For exampe you are going from A-->B--C. You want to finish activity B when you go from B-->C so when you go from A-->B you can use this flag. When you go to some other activity this activity will be automatically finished.
